As Kris said AMD/Xilinx has already moved internal SOC tree to 6.1 based kernel in expectation that 6.1 will become next LTS. And I am not aware about any issue from testing team related to 6.1 kernel version. And we are covering our AMD/Xilinx SOCs based on arm32/arm64 and Microblaze CPUs. It would be good to continue with the same strategy which using the latest kernel at that year which is what I am hearing all the time from others that 6.1 was last kernel at that year and it should be LTS. I didn't run any stats but normally also more patches are going to this version to be the part of LTS. We will be upgrading to the latest stable version 6.1.5 quite soon but normally there are no new issues coming from it. Thanks, Michal
